Why is it every time we have a Republican President, the rich and all corporations get a big tax cut? The Bush II tax cut put us back on the road to big deficits and growing debt.

Reagan’s tax cuts ballooned the deficits and debt. He was big on telling Americans they shouldn’t live on debt and should cut purchases. He reduced revenue, spent more, and ballooned the deficits. He then did a huge tax decrease to cut deficits.

Clinton and Gingrich had paid off most of the national debt before Bush II pushed us into a quagmire of deficit and debt. When the great recession hit, he and Obama couldn’t raise taxes. Making them permanent was a mistake.

Now Trump and the nutty conservatives in the house want to cut taxes on the rich by 50%. This will just drive us deeper into debt. Many on Wall Street think the greater threat to America is the National Debt. They think increases and cutting expenditures is necessary to save us.

We need to raise taxes and cut deductions to pay for all the government has been doing and is supposed to do. This race to the bottom with some other countries that are bankrupting themselves is absolutely stupid!

For those tax cutting conservatives, remember the Egyptians were supposed to save up grain during the seven good years for use in the seven bad years. Maybe they really don’t want to use the commonsense statements in the Bible or just haven’t read the Bible. Its aspirations and theirs diverge greatly. Clinton/Gingrich spent the money paying off debt so it could be run up when needed. There was no reason to run up debt during Bush II’s administration except for the tax cuts. It was a bad idea then and a terrible idea now. Voodoo economics has never worked. It’s a conservative myth that conservatives have nailed their feet on.
